Talking about working and writing about working does not equate to actually doing the work

No pretty visuals and flowery text from me today. Just plain hard text.

As much as I often talk about taking small steps and being consistent, sometimes the most important step to take is showing up.

It's been difficult trying to pull myself together to clear the backlog of work. It's like being in a hole, already half-filled with mud and I'm not sure if I should focus on scooping out the mud that's already in the hole or work on preventing more mud from piling up. It's paralysing because while I want to get started on all the amazing plans I have, I know I should really clean up all the mess behind first.

It's times like this that I wish I could chanel Elle Wood from Legally Blond - you know, the part when she decides to finally work hard so that she can enter law school. I love watching the resolve when she decides to bury herself into work and be so productive. But. In real life, actually getting down to it is boring, tedious work.

Yes, it's difficult. But no one ever said it would be easy. Do the work!
